    Molecular 'Mushrooms' and 'Brushes' Help Cancer-Fighting Nanoparticles Survive in the Bloodstream

    October 23, 2018

    Drexel researchers have discovered a coating for nanoparticles that allows them to survive in the bloodstream without being removed by the liver. This means the tiny particles could one day be used to improve cancer treatment by seeking out and attaching to tumors in the body.

  • Molecular 'Mushrooms' and 'Brushes' Protect Cancer-Fighting Nanoparticles in the Bloodstream

    October 23, 2018

    For a number of innovative and life-saving medical treatments, from organ replacements and skin grafts to cancer therapy and surgery, success often depends on slipping past or fending off the body’s immune system. In a recent development, aimed at aiding cancer detection and treatment, Drexel University researchers might have found the ideal surface texture for helping microscopic, medical helpers to survive in the bloodstream without being screened out by the body’s natural defense mechanisms.

  • A Stabilizing Influence Enables Lithium-Sulfur Battery Evolution

    October 16, 2018

    A new approach for making cathodes for lithium-sulfur batteries, reported by researchers in the College of Engineering, could help to prevent a performance-sapping phenomenon that has been preventing their progress toward commercial use. Their method for infusing sulfur into the cathode cuts a time-consuming process down to just five seconds and does it without using toxic chemicals which are often a necessary part of production.
